numberOfVirtualSwitches

Module: Partition-MIB

OID (symbolic): Partition-MIB::numberOfVirtualSwitches

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2000.2.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: The number of virtual switches that have been currently configured on this switch

What is numberOfVirtualSwitches?

The number of virtual switches currently configured on this physical switch. Admins check this to confirm how many logical partitions the switch has been carved into, which is central to this Partition-MIB's whole purpose of virtual-switch resource partitioning.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2000.2.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Partition-MIB::numberOfVirtualSwitches

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2000.2.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Partition-MIB::numberOfVirtualSwitches.1
